A Stardew Valley modder has decided to weed out the weak with a hardcore mode that'll delete your save if you look at the wiki

Stardew Valley.

There's a lot more to Stardew Valley than meets the eye. At first, this cosy life sim seems like a piece of cake; all you need to do is farm produce, sell it, expand your homestead, and hopefully make some friends along the way. But the reality is that there are so many ways to go about this and so much more under the surface that it can sometimes feel like you have no other choice but to check the wiki for help. 

Looking at the wiki or guides for extra information is by no means a bad way to play Stardew Valley—I spent a good deal of time searching for what certain villagers like and dislike so I could get them the best presents. But after being inspired by a HardDrive post (think The Onion, but for games), one player decided to make a mod that would do away with these helpful tips for good.
